Chapter 1173

Luoyang.

The huge return gun carriage was mounted on the side of the city wall, and the peasants were busy moving back and forth to carry the equipment for defending the city, and further away, there was an endless stream of cavalry galloping.

It's as busy here as Chang'an.

Boyan patrolled, his face still looked very calm, and he hid his worries deeply in his heart.

After the news of the Helan Mountain battle came, Da Yuan was already in turmoil.

A large amount of information from Guanzhong claimed that the Tang army had beheaded Kublai Khan; and many people in the Yuan army who fled back said that they watched the Great Khan and fled to the north.

However, he has not returned yet.

Before the Great Yuan Emperor appeared, no one could be sure which was the truth.

As far as Boyan knew, Anxi Wang Manggela escaped from this great defeat, perhaps because he had been captured by Li Xia once and had experience.

Boyan had to pay attention to the opinion of such an old minister who had started his foundation with Kublai Khan from the very beginning, and also the opinion of the entire Jinlianchuan shogunate.

After a while, he finally spoke, but instead of answering Shang Wen's question, he asked: "Among the Marquis, there are many people who have been spying on the current situation secretly and have contact with Li Xia, what do the court think should be done? "

He really didn't expect Zhenjin to come back in such a way.

They were talking about Liu Bingzhong.

Shang Wen hurriedly said: "How can a lower official make a claim? There should be a pillar of the country like Prime Minister Boyan to preside over the situation."

This euphemistic and decent way of speaking is not the style of the officials of the Great Mongolian Kingdom in the past.

"The prince passed out after escaping from the desert, was taken in by a herdsman, and migrated to the northwest for a certain distance, so he was never found. Later, he persuaded the herdsman and took him back to Kaiping. Blessed by the Changshengtian and the great emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, he finally returned safely."

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I'm here to report good news to the Prime Minister." Shang Wen said, looking around as he spoke, as if he was looking to see if the wall had ears.

"Prince Zhenjin...how did King Yan come back?"

After all, Zhenjin is the prince, and if the prince can return safely, he must be happy as a courtier. Boyan also reminded Shang Wen in this sentence that Kublai Khan may still be alive.At the same time, this is also a temptation.

Although it was difficult, he was pretentious and confident that he could stop Li Xia.

Boyan asked Shang Wen to settle down first, and soon, only He Wei was left in the study.

In desperation, Boyan even exceeded his authority and sent someone south to contact Song Ting.

At present, the news has not come back, and everything is still uncertain. In short, keeping and stabilizing is the prerequisite for everything.

Boyan asked: "Your Majesty has returned to Kaiping?"

Boyan narrowed his eyes a little, and sneered when he saw He Wei speaking from the reflection of the armor, with a hint of complacency.

Maybe the young man is already trying to get credit.

He knew very well that Liu Bingzhong also had high hopes for Zhenjin, so of course he would support Zhenjin.But on the other hand, this Liu Bingzhong was also a loyal minister of Kublai Khan.How could he not confirm the news at this time, but hastily help Zhenjin to succeed him?

Once this mouth is opened, if Kublai Khan returns, even he will be regarded as a real gold party.And even if Kublai Khan doesn't come back, Zhen Jin won't touch him, the big official of the frontier, just because he doesn't express his opinion.

"Infighting?" He Wei seemed very surprised, and asked: "The prime minister said about internal fighting, the lower officials didn't understand who was fighting with whom?"

As soon as Boyan heard this, he knew that this was an important secret matter to discuss, the light in his eyes turned into a shadow, and there was still some worry.

real gold?

Boyan hasn't replied yet, and he won't express his opinion easily before the matter is confirmed.

Of course he noticed that what Shang Wen kept talking about was "Prince", but in fact, His Majesty has not conferred Zhenjin as Prince.

He rushed back to the Jinglue Mansion and took a look at the lobby, but he didn't see anyone.

Hearing this name again made people feel like a dream. He thought Zhen Jin was dead.

If Kublai Khan is never found again, the young King Anxi is clearly preparing to take on a big role.

He asked again: "Has His Majesty returned?"

"The two people beside Cai Shangwen are both Shi Ji's people?"

Boyan turned his head suddenly, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.

Boyan felt at ease, thinking that the Jinlianchuan shogunate was indeed reliable in doing things.

Boyan then strode towards the top of the wall, He Wei looked around and followed.

Boyan changed his previous strategy of restoring the vitality of the Central Plains, recruited a large number of soldiers and horses, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and prepared to stick to the end.

"Prime Minister!"

"Zhang Yi went out with His Majesty, is Shi Ji leading the Eagle Guard in Kaiping?"

"Yes, Xiaguan was recommended by Secretary Cong to be the Taibao of the court, so he has always been called a mentor."

Now Manggela and Tuohu are still gathering defeated troops near the Hetao, guarding the Hetao and looking for Kublai Khan at the same time.

Boyan walked slowly to the window, opened the window, and let the sun shine in.

"The Prime Minister is right, His Majesty will be very happy." Shang Wen first echoed, and then said after pondering: "However, since His Majesty has not yet returned to Kaiping, Li Xia will definitely take the opportunity to commit crimes. State affairs must not be decided by anyone."

"Then what do you think I should do? Just treat you as my aide and tell me."

On the other side of Guanzhong, Li Xia had already sharpened his sword and was intensively preparing for the Northern Expedition, with Henan bearing the brunt.Boyan still has to prepare for this battle.

"I don't have the ability to do this, but before I came, my mentor Liu Gong said a few words."

But he did not immediately express his willingness to invite real gold to supervise the country.

He took a few more steps, walked to the armor, turned his back to He Wei, and observed him with the reflection of the armor.

Fortunately, Shangwen paused for a moment, then continued: "Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince should be asked to supervise the country first, to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies, and wait until His Majesty returns to court, what does the Prime Minister think?"

Boyan was surprised.

"No." He Wei said: "The lower officials feel that letting the crown prince supervise the country is out of public interest, and it is not appropriate to speculate like this."

Even though Boyan was very self-cultivated, he also showed a look of impatience.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty is back?"

As for the power of internal struggle, it is not learned from Song Guo, but it is already fierce, and it is worse than worse.

"Secretary Cong?" Boyan asked, "You are Secretary Cong's disciple."

"Yes. I am loyal to His Majesty first, and then to Crown Prince Zhenjin."

"I've seen Prime Minister Boyan, my surname is Shang, my first name is Wen, and my name is Zhou Qing."

Just listen to Shang Wendao: "Secretary Cong said that a country cannot be without a king for a day."

Boyan frowned.

These are internal worries, in addition to external troubles.

This is the case with offense and defense. It is much more difficult to be on the weak and struggling side, but now the offense and defense have changed.

Two of them were Eagle Guards, and the other was a Han Chinese dressed as a scholar, in his early 30s.

"I feel that someone intends to take the opportunity to help Prince Zhenjin succeed to the throne without waiting for His Majesty. Do you feel it?"

The situation made him feel difficult, maybe it was the kind of difficulty that Wu Xian of Jin State and Yu Jie of Song State felt.

"The prime minister should go and ask in person."

It's just that since Kublai Khan implemented the Han law, except for the most important inheritance of the eldest son, he has not yet established, and he has learned some other good and bad things.

He almost pointed at Shang Wen and asked, "What do you want?"

Boyan froze for a moment.

In other words, a large part of the Mongolian soldiers and horses are now in the hands of Mangala.

He knew very well that without Song Guo's support, he would not be able to keep this precarious Dayuan.And in the future, no matter whether it is Kublai Khan's return or the new emperor succeeding to the throne, his actions will only be appreciated.

What is said in the letter is what should be said, but Manggela's intention to win over Boyan is obvious.

Liu Bingcong used to live next to Kublai Khan all the year round, because he was called "Secretary Cong".

Someone rode a horse from the north and hurried up to the top of the city, but it was He Wei, the head of Henan Road Control Eagle Guard.

However, Boyan quickly adjusted his mood and said with emotion: "That's great, His Majesty will be very happy when he hears the news."

"We are far away in Henan. On the first line of defense against the enemy, we can smell the smell of internal fighting. It can be seen how fierce the internal fighting is." Boyan sighed and said: "State affairs are worrying."

"The crown prince has summoned Zhang Rou, Zhang Hongji, Yan Shi and others to Kaiping, and has sent people to Shanxi to meet Ahema. In addition, Secretary Cong agrees with the prime minister's strategy of uniting the Song Dynasty, and will fully cooperate with the prime minister in the court."

"Prime Minister, in the dormitory."

"What do you think we should do?"

Boyan has received a letter from Mangge.

"Let's talk with them in the study..."

After a while, the three walked into Boyan's study.

Boyan remained silent and started pacing back and forth.

Shang Wen bowed solemnly and said, "Prince Zhenjin is back."

He hurried to Boyan's side and said, "Prime Minister, someone is coming from Kaiping."

Ridiculous, unbelievable, and more importantly, complicating an already unclear situation.

"Yes?"

He Wei said: "Yes. And when it comes to supporting Prince Zhenjin, the two commanders are indistinguishable from each other."

Boyan turned to He Wei and asked, "You are also loyal to King Yan."

"Can't you see that Mangera and Namuhan are holding soldiers and horses in their hands?"

"Then the prime minister thinks that the prince will no longer supervise the country, so they will stop fighting among themselves?"

This time, Boyan, who turned out to be a talent in economics, was questioned by a martial artist, He Wei.

Yes, besides fighting for it, what else can we do with real gold?
Then this battle may be more difficult than imagined...
